Create and maintain <br />“complete” streets that provide safe, comfortable, and convenient travel through a <br />comprehensive, integrated transportation network that serves all users. <br />·Policy T-3.1 Citywide Bikeway System. Develop and maintain a bikeway system that <br />meets the need of both utilitarian and recreational users, reduces vehicle trips, and <br />connect residential neighborhoods to employment and shopping areas, BART stations, <br />schools, recreational facilities and other destinations throughout San Leandro and nearby <br />communities. <br />·Policy T-3.2 Funding. Maximize the City’s eligibility for funding for bicycle and pedestrian <br />improvements, and aggressively pursue such funding to complete desired projects. <br />·Policy T-3.3 Designing for Multiple User Groups. Recognize the dual needs of <br />experienced cyclists relying on bicycles for commute trips and daily travel and less <br />experienced cyclists using bicycles principally for recreation. Where needed, develop <br />facilities designed to serve each user group, with recreational routes primarily using <br />low-volume streets and off-street bike paths. <br />Environmental Review <br />The Project qualifies for a statutory exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act <br />(CEQA) per California Public Resources Code Section 21080.19 “Restriping of Streets or <br />Highways”. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The awarded Sustainable Transportation Planning grant funds in the amount of $349,248 require <br />a minimum local match of $45,252.
